INTRODUCTION. . 



While this reader is, in a great degree, intended, with the help 
of the Pocket Compendium, to perfect the student in the use of 
word-signs, its primary object is to give him or her a concise idea of 
the manner, first introduced into the art by Andrew J. Graham, of 
New York, of inventing special contractions and abbreviations 
extemporaneously, while engaged in reporting lectures, sermons, 
etc. To obtain a complete idea of the manner in which this is ac- 
complished, it will be necessary for the student to observe the fol- 
lowing rules throughout the reader : 

1st. — Carefully read and note, in the exercises herein, every 
digression from the long way of writing words and phrases for which 
word or phrases signs have not been already learned from the charts 
or Compendium. 

2d.- — Write all the exercises, letters, court testimony, etc , from 
dictation ; afterwards comparing your short-hand writing with the 
original. Rewrite and re-rewrite from dictation until your writing 
compares precisely with said original. 

3d, and last. — Transeribe your short-hand writing and compare 
with the key, at the back. By this means, many slight but import- 
ant contractions may be discovered, which, otherwise, might be 
overlooked.

THE READER 



[Written for the "Boys of the World."] 

TOO SMAET BY HALF. 



IN HEROIC M1LT0NIC VERSE. 



BY CURT. 



George was a high-school boy, of good repute, 

One who, when school let out, would quickly scoot, 

Not to his home, 

But in the streets to roam, 

Till his yearning stomach made him feel 

An eager longing for his evening meal. 

Then he would homeward drive, 

Where, when he did arrive 

He'd clean the tab'e courageously as the noble Hector, 

Leaving the meal a ghastly spectre, 

Of what it was before he came. 

All meat to him was game ! 

His eye was fierce as is the goat called "Billy;" 

His Mnile, some said, was p acid, others silly. 

Opinions differed, too, about his actions— 

Thus are we oft divided ino factions! 

His hair was brown as Jersey cider, 

His forehead wide— his mouth still wider. 

Although no yet a man in y ears, 

More than a man was he in— eats. 

Always full of fun and tricky jokes, 

He oft caught e'eumoy cunning folks ; 

But none so cunning quite, nor yet so quick 

As to catch the wiiy George wiih quib or trick— 

At least the facetious George thus thought; 

But little fish have time ye, to be caugh . 

The first of April dawned, a glorious day, 

And found George in the country, far away 

From all his usual haunts ; 

But. still possessed of all his wants. 

Of each country boy he meant to make a tool 

And have them every one, an April fool. 

"But I mus myself look out," thought he, 

"Or a country boy may make a fool of me." 

Thu keeping on his guard 

He walked out with his cousins in the yard. 

Things new and strange i o him he viewed— 

A this hing sneered, at t'other one pooh-poohed. 

The coi sins, iired of this, took him to see the farm. 

And though within their breasts there dwelt no thought of harm 

They brought him to a Held 

hi which beneath an oak tree lay concealed 



22 

A savage bull of Durham breed. 

Of this alarming face they took no heed, 

But through the field they tripped and « alked, 

When, 'roused by voices, up behind them stately walked— 

The Durham. 
Seeing this, the cousins fled, 
And yelled, if George would save his head 
He'd bef er do the same. 
Onward the mighty Samson came! 
But still unseen by George, who did believe 
The boys had said this "to deceive." 
"Tka^ joke's too ihm, my little lads," he thought, 
"In that small game this chicken can't b-s caught." 
r l he thought no sooner tied, wh' j n a tremendous bellow 
Caused each particular hair to rise, and all his blood turn yellow, 
He took one glance behind, then turned to fly. 
Too late ! 1 hat fearful bull was nigh ! 
His rise was sudden, and his fall severe, 
And when he lit, he lit upon his ear 
Another toss, and he was o'er the fence, 
Safe, by chance, from further violence. 
Home was he carried by his country cousins ; 
Dressed were his wounds, tha- numbered dozens, 

He dow is well, and hope we all 
i hat, if he rise again he will not fall 
With such a dreadful force, 
For now, of course, 
We expect he has learned forever, 
That, though he really is quite clever, 
There are times when others know almost — 
Though not quite-— as much as George, the boast.

T. R. Hallowell, Esq., Chief Accountant Beth. R. R. Co. 

Dear Sir : — I have only to-day received your statement dated 
May 4th, showing car service of our cars on your railway. 

The delay seems unaccountable. Would you please look into 
the matter and advise me as to the cause ? 
Your early reply will greatly oblige 

Yours, truly, 

ARMAND DOOLITTLE, 

First Auditor

Mrs. Frank Hardcastle, Marchmont, Mo. 

Dear Madam : — Your favor of the 1st inst duly received. 

In reply, would state that I have given my personal attention 
to your case, and herewith personally reply. 

From a hasty examination of the particulars mentioned in your 
letter above noted, I am inclined to believe that there was a misun- 
derstanding between your deceased husband and our agent at your 
town. Had your husband, however, carefully perused the printed 
agreement on his policy before signing same, both himself and you 
would probably have been more enlightened in regard thereto. 

I will investigate the matter further and advise you at a later 
date. Verv respectfully, 

JOSHUA BARDEL, 

President of F. A. Co. 



CHICAGO CLEARING HOUSE. 

OFFICE OF THE TREASURER. 

Chicago, April 1st, 1874. 
Wm. Macelhainey, Esq., Treas. 23d Nat. Bank of New York. 

Dear Sir :— We advise you somewhat hastily to please look out 
for check No. 563, endorsed by H. iSrnith, Jr., & Co., dated 1st ult. 

This check was, through the carelessness of a clerk, dispatched 
to your bank, when it should have been sent to the 23d National 
Bank of Newark. 

'It is our custom to have our mail made up by one clerk and ex- 
amined, before it is sent out, by another ; but, on this occasion, the 
gentleman who usually performs the latter duty, was absent, and 
under great press of business, the examination was entirely over- 
looked — hence the blunder. 

Ere receipt of this, however, you have most likely discovered 
the mistake. Please be kind enough to return check promptly and 
accept our apologies. - Yours, truly, 

J. M. MARKLBY, 

Treasurer. 



CONCORD CO. CIRCUIT COURT.

Jno. Brown & Co.,) In g ui{ 

ThomaI Rogers, f damages, $600. 

Messrs. Jno. Brown & Co. 

Gentlemen: — I received a call this a. m. from the defendant 
in your suit, Mr. Thos. Rogers. 



24 

The purpose of his call was to arrange with me, for you, to com- 
promise this suit for damages by at once paying $200, ready cash. 

I would advise your acceptance of this compromise and thus 
avoid further litigation, although the expenses incurred by you hav- 
ing amounted to $210, it is a loss. 

I believe from what I know of the man, personally, that if you 
will write me a letter stating you will compromise for $250, that he 
would accept. This is no more than just. 

Please advise me, at as early a date as possible, what course to 
pursue, and oblige Your obedient servant, 

T. DUDLEY BECKETT, 

Att'y and Counsellor at Law.

Philadelphia, Mareh 7th, 1870. 
Messrs. Jesstjp & Carman, Cleveland, O. 

Gentlemen : — Yours of the 2d inst. is at hand. In reply, would 
state that the goods you refer to were shipped to you promptly upon 
the day purchased, a fact to which our shipper and his assistant, to- 
gether with our "blotter," testify. The delay, therefore, in receiving 
your goods, is not traceable to any dereliction of duty upon out- 
part, and as an additional proof of this statement, we enclose you, 
herewith, bill of lading, which you will observe is dated in accord- 
ance with above statement. This being the case, the tardy delivery 
of the goods is wholly the fault of the railway company, and we re- 
turn you, with this letter, the bill rendered by you to us, and advise 
the presentation of the same to the railway company for collection. 

Very respectfully, 
Enclosures. R. H. HUNGRYBURGER & CO. 



COUNCILMANIC 



ARGUMENT BEFORE PHILADELPHIA (PA.) COMMON COUNCILS, ON THE 

LICENSING OF STBEET-HUCKSTERERS, APRIL 18TH, 1877. 

[An abstract from a three cohimn report made by Curtis Haven ] 

Mr. X. — I would urge upon you, gentlemen, an entire prohib- 
ition of street-huckstering. 1 speak in the behalf of between three and 
four thousand grocers and legitimate dealers who suffer from unregu- 
lated and indiscriminate huckstering. They ask simply that as tax- 
payers they may be protected in their rights They ask that the 
hucksters be placed on the same basis as storekeepers, who are re- 
quired by law to pay mercantile taxes, rents, licenses and other taxes. 



25 

Mr. Rowan. — I would like to ask Mr. X. if he keeps a grocery- 
store ? 

Mr. X. — No ; I am not so unfortunate. I am in business as a 
butter, egg, and cheese dealer. 

Mr. Kowan.— I woald like to ask the amount of license that 
you pay yearly? 

Mr. X. — We paid, last year, fifty dollars. 

Mr. Rowan — What is the amount of business that you do 
yearly ? 

Mr. X.--It ranges from one hundred to two hundred thousand 
dollars. 

Mr. Rowan. — Then you would be satisfied with a proportionate 
amount of tax on the hucksters, I suppose ? 

Mr. X. — I would not. 

Mr. Rowan. — Then you want them to be imposed upon more 
than you ? 

Mr. X — No, sir. 

Mr. Rowan. — Now, Mr. Chairman, what is his real motive ? Is 
it his own personal benefit or not? 

Mr. X. — My own motive is to secure the passage of an ordi- 
nance that will please all. We ask that these people (hucksters) be 
prohibited from selling on the streets. 

Mr. Rowan. — Are not the streets free ? 

Mr. X. — Well, they seem to be, at present. 

Mr. Rowan. — Why do you want to prohibit people from selling 
goods on the streets ? 

Mr. X. — Because we do not think it a proper way of doing bus- 
iness. We think it is giving them privileges that other people do 
not possess. 

Some one here handed Councilman Rowan a slip of paper, which 
he perused and afterwards referred to while speaking. 

Mr. Rowan. — If you do two hundred thousand dollars worth of 
business yearly, you are just cheating the city out of one hundred 
dollars and thirteen cents a year, and if you do a business of one 
hundred thousand dollars, you are cheating the city out of fifty dol- 
lars and thirteen cents a year. Now, I think it would be advisable 
for you to sock up. 

Addressing Councils, the speaker continued : 

"I am a paper hanger, carrying on business in a store, but any 
journeyman paper hanger can go to a manufacturer and buy wall 
paper by the single roll as cheaply as I can buy it by the thousand 
rolls. These journeymen will paper anybody's house from whom 
they can get a job, yet I would never think of asking that the jour- 
neymen should be prohibited from going around and "huckstering" 
their work. I characterize the action of such people as a desire to 
crush the hucksters out of existence as scandalous and outrageous, 
and as an effort to oppress the poor. 



26 
COURT TESTIMONY. 



RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION OF DR. JARED LINSLY, IN THE VANDERBILT 

WILL CONTEST, AT THE SURROGATE'S COURT ROOM, 

NEW YORK CITY, NOVEMBER, 1871. 

Q. — The bills that you had against the estate, I suppose, have 
all been paid — your bills for medical services ? A. — I claim a pro- 
fessional privilege. 

Q. — You have a legacy of how much under the will ? A. — I 
understood that I had $40,000 under the will. 

Q. — How much of that did you get outside of the will. A. — I 
didn't know that I was brought here to answer questions about my 
private business. 

Mr. Clinton objected to the question, and the Surrogate sus- 
tained the objection. 

Q — Can you state any one of Commodore Yanderbilt's children 
whom Mrs. Crawford or Mrs. Yanderbilt urged to have admitted to 
the room who was not admitted ? A. — Yes, sir ; Cornelius J. Yan- 
derbilt. It was, I think, in July, 1876. 

Q. — State what was said on the subject at that time, and by 
whom ? A. — Mrs. Crawford stated to the Commodore that his son 
Cornelius J. was down stairs, and would like to see him. She urged 
him to see him, but the Commodore would not. There was another 
occasion also, I think, in the month of July. He was at his father's 
house very frequently. 

Q. — What children saw their father by stealth? A. — I have 
seen Mrs. Torrance look in the partly opened door; I have seen Mrs. 
Allen, Mrs. Osgood and Mrs. La Bau do the same. This was during 
the period of his illness. Mrs. Allen was at the house frequently — 
almost daily. 

Q. — How many times did she look through the half-open door? 
A. — I think every time she was there and did not go in the room to 
see him. 

Q. — When was it that Commodore Yanderbilt told Mrs. La Bau 
that he had made the best will he could ? A. — My recollection of it 
is that it was in the front room, within two months of his death. 

Q. — Who was present? A. — I don't remember any except the 
Commodore, myself, and Mrs. La Bau. 

Q — To whom did he say that if he had to make a will a hun- 
dred times he would not make it differently ? A — I think I heard 
him say that to different members of his family. 

Q. — Are you able to state that he said that to any particular 
member of the family you could name? A. — My impression is, it 
was Mrs. La Bau I can't name any other. 

Q.._When was it he told you he had given William and George 



27 

the largest portion of his property? A. — In 1854. 

Q. — You stated that he said to proponent here, "Billy, when I 
die you will have great responsibilities, and I want you to carry out 
what is in the will and other papers." What other papers ? A. — He 
said some other papers that were to be left, and I understood him to 
say attached, or to be attached, to the will. 

Q — When was it that he told you that if he had died at some 
previous time, the world would never have known him? A. — The 
first time was in May, 1876. 

Q — Do you recollect any conversations that he had with other 
persons about purely business matters ? A. — Only on one occasion. 
I usually left the room when persons came on business to see him. 
Once Mr. Waddell came in with some papers. The Commodore told 
me to sit down and listen to a paper. He told Waddell to read it, 
which he did. He (the Commodore) said "Doctor, I want you to 
witness that paper," and I did so. I have never seen the paper 
since his death, and do not know where it is. I could state a part 
of the contents of the paper, but not all. 

The witness further testified that he thought the Commodore 
was leas irritable during the last ten years of his life than he had 
been previous to that time. He had no recollection of a conversa- 
tion with Mr. Hitchcock many years ago, in which he told that gen- 
tleman that Commodore Yanderbilt made a will leaviDg about $11, 
000,000 to be equally divided among his children. 

Q. — Did you state to Dr. J. W. Swasey, of Yonkers, that you 
would rather give thousands of dollars than be a witness in the case, 
as its revelations would be terrible? A. — Yes, after .1 heard his 
declaration. 

Q. — Did you tell Minthorne Tompkins, at your office in this city, 
that at one time you were in the Commodore's office, and one of the 
Woodhull women came in and slapped him on the shoulder, and 
said " Wake up " ? A — (decidedly) No, sir. 

The Surrogate ordered the question and answer to be stricken 
out. 

Q. — Have you told several persons, among them Dr. Swasey 
and Mr. George M. Terry, that you had often cautioned the Comma 
dore against riding out with lewd women, and told him the practice 
would get him into trouble? A. — Never, sir. 

By Mr. Clinton. Q. —You were about to state what message 
Commodore Yanderbilt asked you to deliver to his son Cornelius J. 
What was this message ? A. — The Commodore asked Mrs. Yander- 
bilt who was in the house, and she replied: "Your sister Phoebe 
is in the other room, and your son Cornelius is down stairs." He 
said to me, '' Go down and tell him not to come in here again while 
I am living, or after I am dead. You go down, Mrs. Crawford, and 
see that he says it to him." We went down, but he had gone out. 

B}^ Mr. Lord. Q. — Did the Commodore give any reason for 



that? A. — He said he did not want him in the house. 

Q. — Did Mrs. Vanderbilt say anything to the Commodore about 
the fit that Cornelius J. had at the table ? A. — Nothing of the sort, 



INTERVIEWS. 



FOUR BUSINESS INTERVIEWS CONTAINED IN AN ARTICLE ENTITLED 

" SPRING TRADE." 

Reported by Curtis Haven, in the Spring of 1877, for the " Philadelphia Business 
Advocate and ^rice Current." 

The first gentlemen called upon was Mr J. C. MeNaughton, of 
the firm of Messrs. J. C. MeNaughton & Co., wholesale commission 
dealers in foreign and domestic produce, lumber, etc., 264 south 
Front street. 

" I think the outlook at the present time is considerably brighter 
than it was last Spring," said Mr. MeNaughton. " Business appears 
to be brightening up. The markets are greatly improving. As for 
ourselves, we are having a more general demand for our produce 
than we had last year, at this date. This may be owing to a partic- 
ularly active demand for potatoes, which probably may be more a 
special feature with us, although I believe the general feeling in the 
produce line is more confident than it was last year. 

"We have been importing potatoes from Ireland which a T e 
meeting with great favor, and we have invoices on the way that will 
arrive on our American steamers, which we expect to place with 
ease, and it is our intention to continue importing until the end of 
the season. 

" There are indications favorable for a large fruit crop the com- 
ing season which has instilled a great deal of confidence in the mar 
ket, produce men generally feeling more hopeful than they have for 
a year or two. 

"As far as collections are concerned, I must admit that they are 
very slow. This is a season of the year when the produce men are 
pretty well "strapped," for the reason that they have to supply the 
farmers with seeds, etc . and as a general rule, the farmers are unable 
to obtain money until the crops come in. 

11 That about covers the whole subject, I believe, as far as pro- 
duce is concerned." 

Messrs. James, Kent, Santee & Co., importers and jobbers of 
dry goods, Third street above Race, were next called upon. . Being 
referred to Mr. Harry Welsh, that gentleman said : 

" I do not think our sales generally are as numerous as they 
were last year. We have more goods to sell than consumers have 
the money to buy. As yet we have had no direct benefit from the 
Centennial. Jobbing, as a general rule, is quite limited. The Cen- 



29 

tennial would not be likely to materially effect the trade as yet., — 
Merchants will buy where they can buy to the best advantage. There 
is not as much merchandise sold, and on a less margin. The jobbers 
are actually selling dry goods at a less profit than they have done 
since the last thirty years, and very few of them are realizing enough 
profit to pay expenses." 

Reporter — But you do not suppose this condition of trade will 
be lasting ? 

Mr. Welsh. — No ; I look for an improvement over the present, 
because it must come. But I do net believe trade will undergo much 
improvement this Spring. There is nothing to justify an unusual 
activity until the people throughout the country begin to earn enough 
money to buy other than bare necessities. Economy is the rule 
everywhere. Those persons that can afford luxuries, deny them- 
selves. During the war, people universally received good wages and 
realized large profits, and they educated themselves and their fami- 
lies to live svastefully, and since then they have been living on that 
basis, until now they must economize, for the reason that dealers are 
cautious to whom they sell. Now profits have come to be so small, 
while the majority of expenses continue to be as great as ever, that 
they are gradually eating up profits — and more than profits. 

I do not anticipate any trade but what emanates from the ne- 
cessities of the people. There is nothing that can at present stimu- 
late it. The agricultural districts are as they ever were, however. 

Reporter — Then you do not look for an early resumption of 
business activity ? 

Mr. Welsh — An improved condition of affairs will surely 
come, but when it does it will be gradual. The system of economy 
that has been forced upon the people will not change rapidly into a 
system of violent expenditure. It is my belief a better condition of 
trade will take place, but it will require fully six months to effect it. 
Slowly at first, but gradually gaining strength in a manner similar 
to the evolutions of a ponderous engine when getting into motion. 
I feel very hopeful that before Spring is over a change for the better 
will have taken place. 

The next gentleman called upon was Mr. Charles M. Ghriskey, 
hardware commission merchant, 508 Commerce street. 

The general state of trade, said Mr. Ghriskey, is much as it 
has been for some time past — unsettled and unsatisfactory; but I 
do not apprehend a worse condition. I think it may improve soon, 
but the iniprovement will be gradual, and for that very reason, more 
permanent. The volume of business is not likely to be much im- 
proved this summer. My impression has been all along that we 
shall have a rather quiet time until near the end of this year, when 
all will be thoroughly prepared to do business. The country will be 
in a more healthy condition and more prosperous. Collections are 
poor, therefore bad paying customers are being sifted out. In con- 



30 

sequence, what purchasers we have are paying ones, and there is 
much competition among dealers, to sell. Prices are down to a lower 
ebb than they have been since the war, and margins are kept small 
by competition. The Centennial will doubtless make new markets 
for trade, but Philadelphia has not<as yet been much affected by it. 
Good times can only come gradually. People are in too great a 
hurry. There has got to be more making haste slowly than there has 
been. Trade will be much better if we can only afford to wait. — 
Philadelphia cannot fail to be the London of America, but it will 
take time. New York can be the Paris of America — nothing more, 
but Philadelphia will be the solid, substantial London of Amer- 
ica. Trade has reached its worst form of commercial disease, and, 
like a patient, is nearer a convalescent than at any other time during 
its sickness. 



CONGRESSIONAL 



EXTRA SESSION OF THE SENATE — DEBATE ON THE LOUSISIANA 

ELECTION. 

Washington, D. C, November 29th, 1877. 

Mr. Conkling (Rep., N. Y.) — I would like to know whether 
this refusal of the committee to stop the wheels of business for this 
investigation was made before or after the high-sounding declara- 
tions in the Senate a few days ago about the Committee on Privi- 
leges and Elections having delayed and neglected its duties — all 
that talk about the importance of the case demanding immediate 
action, about a sovereign State being kept in waiting ? I would like 
to know whether this refusal was before or after thes"e charges of 
delay on the part of certain Senators ? 

Mr. Hill arose to reply. 

Mr. Conkling — I am speaking to my friend from New Hamp- 
shire, Mr. President. [Laughter] 

Mr. Wadleigh — The refusal of the committee to go into the 
investigation was after the complaint that the committee had delayed. 

Mr. Conkling — I affirmed that a Democratic Senator— more 
than one — arraigned the Committee on Privileges and Elections be- 
cause of its delay. They counted up the days that elapsed at the 
last session of the Senate. They counted up the vacation and 
charged upon the committee neglect, tardiness, shortcoming. I 
would state further, a Democratic Senator had insisted that the cre- 
dentials of Mr. Spofford should not be referred to the committe, that 
the facts were all fixed. Further, it was said by a distinguished 
member of the Senate that the case of Judge Spofford was as clear 
as if Mr. Kellogg had died and the Senate had attended his funeral. 
Events have taken place in Louisiana of which the country is aware, 



31 

and of which the Senate must take judicial notice. These events 
determine, beyond inquiry, the Kellogg-Spofford case. The Senate 
heard yesterday a statement of what the country should know. — 
Had I command of what the country should know, I would call at- 
tention to the fact that the same party in the Senate which awoke 
the echoes in the chamber with the charge that the Committee on 
Privileges and Elections had delayed, now, when the opportunity is 
presented, upon a report, to stand up fairly for a count of the Senate, 
whether one or the other of the men was entitled to a seat, cried out 
for delay. The Committee on Privileges and Elections should be- 
come a police court and go to the Gulf for witnesses to ascertain 
facts touching the character of one of the claimants. A few nights 
ago a prominent Senator was heard declaring to the Senate about it 
being a matter of small importance to inquire whether a claimant 
to a seat in the Senate had, or had not, been privy to a murder to 
secure his election. There had been something said about such a 
charge against a gentleman. k 

The Committee on Privileges and Elections had the Kellogg 
case on trial first, and therefore the other cases should succeed that, 
but now another case has been wrenched from the committee by main 
force and the power of numbers been brought to bear to dislocate and 
rend the rules of the Senate, and Senators arose in their places to 
insist that the Kellogg case, the first case taken up by the committee, 
should have been kept in the committee hung up while process went 
from the Capitol to the Gulf to bring witnesses here to testify as to 
the personal character of one of the contestants. 

Mr. Wadleigh quoted from the testimony taken in Louisiana 
in regard to the acts of one "Littlefield," when Mr. Dawes (Rep., 
Mass.) inquired if the Senator knew what had become of Littlefield. 

Mr. McDonald — I believe he has gone back to Massachusetts. 
[Laughter.] 

Mr. Dawes — Yes. The Democrats expected to carry Massa- 
chusetts this Fall, and sent him there. A 

MR. GORDON'S REPLY. 

Mr. Cordon (Dem., Ga.) — I wish to say a few words in reply 
to the remarkable utterances of the Senator from New York, not 
with any view of convincing that Senator, but to immortalize his 
position, which, to say the least of it, is very unique in inconsistency. 
The Senator has seen fit to indulge in a tirade of abuse of a claim- 
ant for the seat from South Carolina. He has denounced the Demo- 
cratic side of the chamber because Senators on that side desired to 
inquire into the complicity of one of the claimants from Louisiana 
in Returning Board frauds. 

Mr. Conkling — I would be very sorry to do anything to inter- 
fere with the plan of the Senator's speech, which I see is going to be 
a fine one, but nowhere in my remarks of the other day did I say 
anything touching my own conviction of the guilt or innocence of 



32 

the contestant from South Carolina. I simply stated a hypothetical 
case, and disclaim having said of either of these contestants that 
one was free from all blame and the other guilty; however, it was 
said that rhetoric did not bear an examination with the rules of 
arithmetic. 

Mr. Gordon — And nothing illustrates the truth of the Sena- 
tor's position so much as his own rhetoric. [Laughter ] The 
testimony of one "Doc" Adams, a witness before the Commit- 
tee which made the investigation in the South Carolina affairs, 
has been quoted in the Senate to connect Mr. Butler with the 
Hamburg riot. The Senator from New York, in alluding to this 
witness, characterized him as the burn leader of men. That Senator 
declared that he did not express any opinion as to the guilt or inno- 
cence of Mr. Butler, but all who saw his manner could not fail to 
understand his motives. Mr. Butler is a gentleman whose reputa- 
tion is equal to that of any Senator on this floor. He may not be a 
born leader of men, but he is not a leader of loafers and of liars, as 
" Doc " Adams is Though he is not a born leader of men, he is 
the descendant of those whom history characterizes as leaders of 
men. In his veins mingle the blood of Francis Marion and Hazard 
Perry, whose noble deeds emblazon the walls of the Capitol. How 
is it that Senators have forgotten another riot in South Carolina 
which occurred at Cainhoy, where no colored men, but fifteen white 
men were wounded, nine of whom died. 

Mr. Patterson (Rep., S. C.) — The Senator is in error. Eight 
white men and two colored men were killed in that riot. 

Mr. Gordon — It is idle to talk about the whites intimidating 
the blacks I have heard of such intimida ion before. Ireland has 
intimidated England. The giant oak in the forest has intimidated 
the descending bolt.. And Pompeii has intimidated the bubbling, 
boiling lava from Vesuvius. 



FRANCIS MURPHY. 



ADDRESS BY THE GREAT TEMPERANCE REVIVALIST AT THE TEMPER- 
ANCE MEETING HELD IN THE THIRD ST. M. E. CHURCH, 
CAMDEN, N. J., MAY 8TH, 1S11 . 
Reported verbatim, by Curtis Haven, for the "Camden Daily Post." 

Mr. Chairman and my friends : I am very glad to do myself 
the honor of coming here to your city and speaking a few words 
upon a subject that I know is deeply interesting to you — the subject 
of total abstinence from intoxicating liquor. I have only a few mo- 
ments to be with you, for I am going across the river to speak at 
two meetings there. I am obliged to catch the quarter of eight 
boat, and what can I say to you in the few moments that are alloted 
tome? Simply this: This work that we are now engaged in is a 



33 

work of malice towards none and charity for all ; for the liquor seller 
and for the liquor drinker especially. If these men who are engaged 
in the business, and those men who die intemperate, were made to 
believe that those who do not drink are their friends, a great trouble 
would be overcome and the cause of total abstinence benefitted. — 
But we act coldly, and many of that class of men that we are desir- 
ous of reaching we have driven away from us. We have so talked 
about the liquor seller that we could not — did not say "come and be 
one of us. Now, if we gain success in this kind of work, we must 
invite all, plead with all. You need not try to compel a man to be 
sober. You must persuade. Appeal to his honor, his integrity, to 
his home, to his country, and to his God. 

Our work, so far, has been signally blest of God — signally blest. 
Men who have been the victims of intoxicating liquor have signed 
the pledge; men who have been engaged in the sale of it have given 
up their business, and are now within the ranks of total abstinence. 
They are working with us with a zeal, with a patience, and with a 
cheer that shows in themselves the beauty and grandeur of this re- 
form. A great fault with we Christians is, we have allowed the cause 
of total abstinence to be established out of the church. I say this 
for a truth, and there are many things that testify to this fact. We 
allow ourselves to grow too indifferent about it. We do not feel 
deeply about it, and so make no attempt to do good in this direction. 

You can tell a man anything but his faults. He will let you pat 
him on the back and say he is a splendid fellow. You may praise 
him to the highest heaven ; but tell him of his faults, and he begins 
to feel a little different. It is nice to be patted on the back and to be 
told you are a good fellow — a fine lady ; but when the Holy Spirit 
asks to show you all things, he shows you views that you do not 
like. The peace of God comes to us by doing the will of God, and 
that work is accomplished by the heart yielding obedience to the 
truth. Therefore, I say to you that the strangest thing in the pres- 
ent age is that Christian people make a claim of being exceptional, 
and yet they do not like very much to be told of their faults. I 
confess to that same fault. When a good brother takes me by the 
arm and says: "Frank, I don't like what you said a moment ago," 
or " What you said last evening should have been left without say- 
ing," I feel rebuked. But it is not always very comfortable to me. 
I declare I think that we are like the little people attending school. 
They like — all of them — to be pronounced very excellent scholars, 
whether they are so or not. 

I believe, withal, my friends, that this country will be revolu- 
tionized by this reform, but it can only be done by the people totally 
abstaining from intoxicating liquors. You need not undertake to stop 
those in the business from selling or buying. Let the people stop buy- 
ing and the work is accomplished. The man who is in the business 
of selling liquor will be unable to sell. But we have got to stop the 



u 

buying. That's the thing! Then, you see, instead of the man stop- 
ping in a saloon on the way home Saturday evening, and coming 
home intoxicated, and the most of his money gone, he walks right 
home to Sallie Ann and puts his ten or fifteen dollars into Sallie's 
hand, and it brings joy to her and the little ones. He is happier 
and much more pleasant to all than he would otherwise have been: 
llow different from the time when the husband came home stagger- 
ing, and after coming home she found his money had been spent and 
he intoxicated with liquor purchased with the money that should 
have been brought her. 

.But when a man has made up his mind to be a true and loyal 
man to his wife and to his children, he will have no regard for the 
intoxicating cup. That man will walk home — yes, he will — and take 
the money and pay his grocery bill ; and he will be respected. 

A gentleman upon the forum here informed Mr. Murphy that he 
had only three minutes more time to speak. 

Three minutes! said Mr. Murphy. Well, I will have to come 
over to Camden and live here for a week. It is a great cross to go 
away from this audience, but I must be punctual to the people across 
the water. Dear people, if you have come here for the purpose of 
hearing me, I esteem it a great privilege to be permitted to speak 
before you, and thank you for your heartfelt confidence. I must hold 
obedience to duty, but I wish I had time to tell you how I became 
saved. I wish I had. My dear friends, I commenced life with hopes 
as bright as any of you. Had a good mother, and she taught me 
that which was good and beautiful. I expected to make her life ra- 
diant with sunshine, but for the fascination of the intoxicating bowl. 
Some people say there is no fascination about it, but there is a great 
fascination about it. Notice the jollity of the drinking man, the 
cheerful expression on his countenance. How hearty the drinking 
men meet with each other. "Here you are, Bill! Let's go in and 
take something." And they go in and set them up and down. Do 
.you know what is hurting the church to-day? We are so quiet 
about our religion. We do not tell anybody about it. We are 
afraid to pray in prayer meeting. We are walking in the highway 
of the saints, but when we get up at the stile of His redeeming love 
we can hardly tell whether we are saved or not The people are not 
in love with our religion. If everyone were to be fascinated by their 
religion, and would talk about it, showing by genial and kindly con- 
duct their character, they would find peace, and the people would 
come in through the church windows. The people are all in love 
with a religion that you talk about, and they are coming here to 
seek for it. And this, I think, is the best that I can say to you, my 
brethren here who have signed the pledge — speak about it. This is 
a personal responsibility. Remember that God will hold you respon- 
sible ; for you have a duty to perform the same as I have, and let us 
all do our duty. Trust in God, and verily thou shalt be successful. 



35 

With the pleasures that lie aiouncl the intoxicating bowl, I was led 
off, and fell as low, perhaps, as it is possible for a man to fall and 
live. I became separated from wife and children and from every- 
body that made life very dear and precious to me. But God, in His 
infinite mercy, sent a good man to speak to me And when he in- 
vited me very kindly to attend religious service, I begged of him 
that he would excuse me ; that I would not disturb his meeting. — 
Half intoxicated, (I was locked up in a dark room) I asked him to 
please excuse me, but there was a kind expression upon the man's 
face, and when I looked into his countenance I refused no longer. I 
said: "6ir, I will go." I did go with him, and heard the blessed 
gospel of our precious religion ; and there, from the kind words of 
my friends, I there gave my heart to Christ. Absolutely, I am try- 
ing to do what I can to lead other men from the haunts of vice to 
the still waters of eternal rest. Let me say to you, dear people, 
preach the love of God — preach the love of God. There is a won- 
derful love for the bruised heart that he cannot tell anything about 
kimself, and we know not how much we can forgive until we are an 
outcast. I wonder, if your boy should ask your forgiveness of a great 
crime that you know him to be guilty of, would you give it? You 
would say : " [ shall forgive my boy." Why ? Because he is your 
boy. Therefsre, let rae say to you : keep this work going in this 
place with acts of cheerfulness and love, and of kindness. Good 
night. 



Note.— Much may be learned by the advanced student by procuring the original pho- 
nographic notes of the author's daily reports. As Mr. Haven is continually taking reports 
of sermons, lectures, court testimony, etc., he will dispose of the short-hand notes, when 
done with them, for 15 cents per sermon or lecture, or per 20 pages testimony (reporter's 
book size), postage prepaid, to any address. Sometimes a key can be furnished, in which 
case the charge will be 25 cents. Address CURTIS HAVEN, 513 Elm St., Camden, N. J.
